| Have you ever been turned off by an Arrogant Dealer? Thoughts @ejr1953 , That is what many salespeople don't get. The high earners go for the obviously moneyed client and ignore anyone who looks like an average person. I experienced it at Sound by Singer when they were on 8th Street. They let my very nice ... | |
| Thank you Veterans! I think it would be best to contact your representatives in Congress to increase funding for the VA, as a way to show your respect for those who served. Just today, one veteran committed suicide at the Lincoln Memorial. B | |
| suspending monitors from the ceiling @scott22 I am doing much the same with my Vandy VLR's, but on some wall mount speaker clamps. I, too, wondered about the effects of vibration on the speakers, as they aren't really tightly held in their clamps, so I asked Mr. V. He suggested t... | |
| Speaker Cable Management I do much the same, but with my interconnects (for monoblocks). You can get pretty anal about these things, but when it comes down to basics, I doubt you would distinguish a significant change in sound. B | |
| Streamer/DAC One disadvantage is that I presume that there is not much chance of upgrading the DAC in a combo like this, so as technology changes you with miss the buss or fork out for new. Your comment speaks for itself. If you are looking to get the b... | |
| Wilson not delivering speakers as scheduled @ebm,Yes, it is the result of Pandemic slowdown, but if I were running a company, especially a bespoke company like Wilson, I would be on the phone to each customer with an order explaining why their speakers are delayed. And, given the price of t... | |
| Wilson not delivering speakers as scheduled Yet, it would be to Wilson's advantage to reach out to prepaid orders and explain the situation. And, considering how expensive those speakers are, I think it should be a given.B | |
| Cassette Deck servicing/restoration in U.S.? If it works, then just use it.The cost of servicing it isn't worth it as there are many cassette decks that will perform as well or better for not much money.B | |
| Have you seen the website: themusicroom.shop SadBut, I bet musicroomshop.com is claiming FAKE NEWS!B | |
| Anyone know a good tube preamp tech in NYC PM or call John Rutan- Audioconnection. | |
| Magnepan service shut down Wow, that is not Magnepan. IMHO.There must be something going on that would cause such a lack of response,@OP, Though it sounds foolish, I would give it some time to shake out. Magnepan, is a well respected company. And, as a small business owner... | |
| Balanced XLR cables +1 on PM'ing Ralph. You can also call him (phone number on Atmasphere website). If you don't get him, you'll get one of his able assistants.@OP,I bought a long run (25 ft.) from Ralph, when I bought his amps.I was encouraged by my dealer (a very k... | |
| XLR or RCA cables? Short answer:If equipment supports the AES47 standard, the the cable will make less difference-compared to RCA.I suggest you PM Ralph Karsten (Atmasphere) for a complete reasoning- though I think it is on his website.As far as personal experience ... | |
| Fuse degradation? @fuzztone, +1.Also, OP should realize that equipment not used for extended periods will require for caps to reform. In fact, I would have a look inside to see if they are still looking as they should, as this would be one of the first points of fa... | |
| Are Pre-Amps necessary? There is a Youtube video from PS Audio out there. John M. seems to espouse using a preamp than not.As I am using streaming, I really need to try using my streaming app (Roon) vs my preamp.Though I expect the result to be much like 'Salt to taste'.B |
